Definitions
- the apparatus also comprises an angle marking device attached to the arm to indicate a vertical reference point for measuring the angle of tilt of the arm from the vertical reference point relative to the base.
- the angle marking device comprises a pointer configured to move relative to an angle scale to indicate an angle of incline of the needle guide support relative to the base.
- release of the needle guide from the needle guide support allows manipulation and fine positioning of the needle within the patient.
- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1 with the needle guide angled 25° in the axial plane and angled 20° in a cranio-caudal plane;
- Figure 9 shows a top view of the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1 with angle angle marking device in a front position
- Figure 10 shows a surgical dummy with positional surface markers applied to its surface as part of the method of use of the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 18 shows the apparatus of Figure 1 positioned on the torso of the surgical dummy shown in
- the apparatus (100) also comprises an arm (2) attached at one end to a needle guide support in the form of a C-shaped clamp (3) and attached at its distal end to a first arc member (4).
- the C-shaped clamp (3) facilitates attachment of a surgical needle guide (5) for a surgical needle (not shown).
- the C-shaped clamp (3) has a sliding carriage (3A) configured to accommodate needle guides of different diameters and to facilitate rotation of the needle guide (5) within the C-shaped clamp (3) to allow the needle guide (5) to be released from the C-shaped clamp (3) after entry of the needle into the patient.
- the needle guide (5) passes through the base (1) at aperture (lb) and its release from the apparatus (100) after insertion of the needle into the patient is facilitated by channel (lc).
